Great work Shinta 
The only problem is that it doesn't work with a customized INI file. My config file uses some hidden options which are not documented, and it makes some tabs display garbage instead of the expected values.
Another thing I've noticed is that you can't manually set the frame delay (the only options available are 59/60/61 Hz). Problem is, none of those default values are correct.
Here is my own INI file, it should help you debug your configurator. Keep up the good work!

This is a program that has been needed for Magic Engine for a long, long, time..
Definatly makes INI editing more intuitive for new Magic Engine users.
Bravo!!!
Can't wait for the next version!
